11 How does light allow you to see? Suppose you aim a flashlight at a pair of colored light filters. The first filter is blue and the second one is red. When the light passes through the blue filter, it will emerge blue. But what happens when the blue light passes through the red filter?

12 Latin Word Origins Latin Word Meaning of Latin World Key Term flectere to bend reflection The bouncing back of something, such as light or sound, when it hits a surface

13 Latin Word Origins Latin Word Meaning of Latin World Key Term lux, lucere to light translucent Scattering light; allowing some, but not all, light to pass through

14 Latin Word Origins Latin Word Meaning of Latin World Key Term re- back; again reflection The bouncing back of something, such as light or sound, when it hits a surface

15 Latin Word Origins Latin Word Meaning of Latin World Key Term trans- through; across transparent Allowing light to pass through

16 Apply It! 1. Which key term in the chart comes from the two Latin words flect and re? How does the meaning of this key term involve both those Latin words? reflection; it is the bending back of light so it returns or comes back 2. What part of the word translucent lets you know that the word s meaning has something to do with light? lucent; from the Latin Lucere, meaning to light

17 Section 1: Waves and the Electromagnetic Spectrum What causes waves? What are the basic properties of waves? What does an electromagnetic wave consist of? What are the waves of the electromagnetic spectrum?

18 Electromagnetic Waves Believe it or not, you are being showered all the time, not by rain but by waves.

19 Transverse Waves Waves that move the medium perpendicular to the direction in which the waves travel are called transverse waves.

20 Amplitude, Wavelength, and Frequency The basic properties of all waves are amplitude, wavelength, and frequency.

21 Angles An angle is formed when two lines meet at a point. Angles are measured in degrees, indicated by the symbol º. A circle has 360 degrees. A right angle is an angle that contains 90 degrees. Two lines that meet at a point to form a 90º angle are said to be perpendicular to each other.

22 Angles Practice Problem Draw a circle on a piece of paper. How many right angles can you fit in the circle? Four right angles can fit in a circle.

23 Angles Practice Problem How many degrees do two right angles contain? Two right angles contain 180 degrees.

24 What Is an Electromagnetic Wave? An electromagnetic wave consists of vibrating electric and magnetic fields that move through space at the speed of light.

25 What Is the Electromagnetic Spectrum? The electromagnetic spectrum is the complete range of electromagnetic waves placed in order of increasing frequency.

30 Section 2: Visible Light and Color How does visible light interact with an object? What determines the color of an opaque object? How is mixing pigments different from mixing colors of light?

31 When Light Strikes an Object When light strikes an object, the light can be reflected, transmitted, or absorbed.

32 The Color of Objects The color of an opaque object is the color of the light it reflects.

33 Combining Colors The primary colors of pigments combine in equal amounts to form black.

34 Links on Colors Click the SciLinks button for links on colors.

35 Color Click the Video button to watch a movie about color.

36 End of Section: Visible Light and Color

37 Section 3: Reflection and Refraction What does the law of reflection state? Why do light rays bend when they enter a new medium at an angle? What determines the types of images formed by convex and concave lenses?

38 Reflection When an object or wave hits a surface through which it cannot pass, it bounces back.

39 Concave Mirrors A mirror with a surface that curves inward like the inside of a bowl is a concave mirror.

40 Concave Mirrors Concave mirrors can form either virtual images or real images.

41 Convex Mirrors A mirror with a surface that curves outward is called a convex mirror.

42 Mirrors Activity Click the Active Art button to open a browser window and access Active Art about mirrors.

43 Refraction of Light When light rays enter a medium at an angle, the change in speed causes the rays to bend, or change direction.

44 Bending Light The index of refraction of a medium is a measure of how much light bends as it travels from air into the medium. The table shows the index of refraction of some common mediums.

45 Bending Light Interpreting Data: Which medium causes the greatest change in the direction of a light ray? Diamond causes the greatest change in the direction of a light ray traveling from air.

46 Bending Light Interpreting Data: According to the table, which tends to bend light more: solids or liquids? According to the graph, most solids bend light more than liquids do (quartz is an exception).

47 Bending Light Predicting: Would you expect light to bend if it entered corn oil at an angle after traveling through glycerol? Explain. You would not expect light to bend if it entered corn oil at an angle after traveling through glycerol, because corn oil and glycerol have the same value for the index of refraction.

48 Lenses An object s position relative to the focal point determines whether a convex lens forms a real image or a virtual image.

49 Lenses A concave lens can produce only virtual images because parallel light rays passing through the lens never meet.

50 Lenses Activity Click the Active Art button to open a browser window and access Active Art about lenses.

51 End of Section: Reflection and Refraction

52 Section 4: Seeing Light How do you see objects? What types of lenses are used to correct vision problems?

53 Vision You eyes respond to the stimulus of light. They convert that stimulus into impulses that your brain interprets, enabling you to see.

54 Virtual Dissection of the Eye Activity Click the Active Art button to open a browser window and access Active Art about dissecting an eye.

55 Correcting Vision Concave lenses are used to correct nearsightedness. Convex lenses are used to correct farsightedness.

57 End of Section: Seeing Light

58 Section 5: Optical Tools How are lenses used in cameras, telescopes, and microscopes?

59 Optical Instruments The lens of the camera focuses light to form a real, upsidedown image on film in the back of the camera.

60 Optical Instruments A telescope forms enlarged images of distant objects. Telescopes use lenses or mirrors to collect and focus light from distant objects.

61 Optical Instruments A microscope uses a combination of lenses to produce and magnify an image.
